I know now this will probably not be how dye works but I really don't care.

I want to thank Aspiringactor for betaing this though I might have fixed a few things that came up on spell check.

"Okay, there is Stark Tower right there." Peter mused, fully in-costume watching from the edge of an adjacent building. With his enhanced vision, he easily spotted the black-suited figure making its way into the Billionaire's home. "There is the Black Cat, just as Kitty thought she would be." Peter said to himself, while shooting out a line of webbing towards the high-rise. He leaped into the air and swung, being extra careful to be quiet, so he didn't alert the intruder.

Meanwhile, inside MJ looked around and smirked saying to herself "despite what the public thinks of him, Stark is just nothing more than an arrogant billionaire jerk who has made millions of the death of others and just because he has a fancy suit means that the public worships him, I will make sure some of this stuff goes to more needed people..."

"I don't think you will be able to use any of this stuff when you are behind bars." MJ heard a voice as she was kicked form the back and turned around to see Spider-Man standing there. "That meddling Spider-Man again!" MJ snarled as she took out a smoke pellet and tossed it towards the arachnid hero, who covered his eyes. She started to run, only to notice that Spider-Man had attached himself to the ceiling. "I had prepared myself just in case we had a rematch." Spider-man said as he went for a flying kick but MJ had managed to dodge them using some cartwheels.

MJ got a shock grenade form her utility belt and threw it at Spider-man, only for him to catch it using a web and throw it to the ground causing a fire, "See? Because of you it is now raining inside!" Spider-man said with a glare at MJ as the place's sprinkler system had started. Both heroes exchanged a stare, knowing that the only real way out of there would be beating the other in hand-to-hand combat. Something which MJ was more than competent in. Spider-man was the first to move, using an amateurish swinging punch for her forehead, which she ducked underneath and countered with a sharp blow to his stomach. He returned the favour by driving his knee into her solar plexus, forcing her back and into the path of the sprinkler.

Spider-man's eyes widened as he saw the dye wash out of MJ's hair due to it not having enough time to sink in, "Mary Jane Watson?" he questioned out loud without thinking as MJ glared at him while taking off her eye mask.

"Don't know how you know me but I don't care!" MJ roared as she started trying to make her escape but Peter blocked her view, "So why is a high school student going about as a cat burglar?" Peter questioned as MJ was using her reflex to keep away from Peter.

"I don't see how it is any of your business but I shall indulge the lunatic thrill seeker." MJ screamed while continuing to run away from Peter.

"I have no other option, when the Battle of New York happened my dad lost the office building where he worked at and when he couldn't pay the bills he left and my mum had to check herself into a hospital to deal with dad leaving!" MJ shouted with drama in her voice which made Peter think that Kitty's nickname of hers 'the Queen of Drama Queens' had some truth in it, "It was up to my Aunt Anna to look after me and she had trouble paying the bills." MJ snarled "I did not have it in me to ask my friends or boyfriend for money so I had to take matters into my own hands. I had various gymnastics training and using a disguise I put together I managed to get the equipment needed to get things I can sill to support my aunt and me."

"You did not want to ask your friends for money but you decided it was okay to rob people's places?" Peter asked, he could not help but feel sorry for MJ's predicament but he had to point out some hypocrisy in her thinking.

"They deserve to get robbed, these fancy companies make millions and while the 1% relaxes in their fancy mansions good hard working people have to scrape to make end's meat!" MJ shouted when she bumped into a metal figure.

The figure had a black metal suit with bits of blue, "Not the first shouting angry redhead I have had to deal with in one of my homes, I would have responded earlier but it took a while to finish this suit." said the figure with a familiar voice.

Despite seconds earlier having to feel sorry for MJ feeling she had to go into crime to support her family, Peter could not help but stare in awe in being in the presence of Tony Stark the armoured Avenger known as Iron Man. Peter was a fan of the billionaire, even before he first donned his armour!

"Iron Man!" Peter said in awe as MJ looked a little scared and then managed to run to the window she had gone through and jumped out. "Rats, she got away!" Peter glared at where the window would be.

"Don't worry while she was running I was having my artificial intelligence JARVIS email the security footage to the police so when she is caught she can get the help she needs." Tony shrugged from behind his faceplate and then touched Peter's shoulder which made him think he was going to explode with excitement "I only decided to test this new armour when I saw you outside my tower looking for someone. Rhodey told me about your encounter with him and I wanted to meet with you."

"Really?" Peter asked not fully believing he was actually speaking to Tony Stark, "If you are having trouble with some sort of bad guy just come to my tower for help and maybe you can join me and my Avengers boy band."

Peter felt himself giddy as he started web slinging home, "I wish something could be done to help MJ." Peter thought with a sigh once his giddiness meter calmed down.

*TMCUSSM*

MJ freaked when she was overlooking her house and watching her aunt Anna being interrogated by the police on her location, "This cannot happen..." screamed MJ in panic "What am I going to do now?" she said with a muffled cry as she began to feel a pain coming from her stomach. Spider-man had gotten in a good hit, she had to admit.

"Perhaps I can help you Ms Watson." MJ heard a voice from behind her and was shocked to see her boyfriend's dad Norman Osborn and several HAMMER agents. "I am offering you a spot in a little project my government organisation is working on." Norman told MJ as he let out his hand.

"Why should I?" wondered MJ as she was still comprehending at the state her life would be in right now, "why a pardon for all the crimes you committed, a safe house from the police, I can help you and your aunt Anna live comfortably once you have helped with this project and I can help you get revenge against the person who just helped ruin your life: Spider-Man." Offered Norman with his hand still out.

"I will do it." MJ said with a determined look on her face as she thought it over for a second, she went and took Norman's hand for the shake which made him grin. "Five down...one to go!" Norman thought to himself with a wide grin.

*TMCUSSM*

"On one hand I am being praised for allowing a notorious cat burglar to be identified but on the other my aunt's friend blames my alter ego for her niece being on the run!" Peter said to Flash and Kitty, in an agitated tone as they sat at t their table in the Midtown High cafeteria.

"It's not your fault Watson went into crime." Flash said sympathetically before going into a smile "but hey you got to meet Iron Man himself, that night was not a total disaster!"

"Guess not..." Peter shrugged and while sitting alone Harry was glaring at his plate. "Why didn't MJ accept when I offered her the money to pay her aunt's debts?" Harry mentally told himself "Wish I could make that Spider pay, maybe I should give dad's OZ machine a second thought..."

One of the teachers was watching Peter's table with interest, she was an attractive blonde woman in glasses and wearing exclusively white clothes, "Ms Pryde just might be what I am looking for..." Professor Frost said to herself before going out of the cafeteria as a smile crossed her face.

Yeah Tony's armour is the Tron armour.
